Abstract

The purpose of this research was to apply near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with chemometrics to predict the change of pharmaceutical properties of antipyrine granules during granulation by regulation of the amount of water added. The various kinds of granules (mean particle size, 70–750 μm) were obtained from the powder mixture (1 g of antipyrine, 6 g of hydroxypropylcellulose, 140 g of lactose, and 60 g of potato starch) by regulation of the added water amount (11–19 wt/wt%) in a high-speed mixer. The granules were characterized by mean particle size, angle of repose, compressibility, tablet porosity, and tablet hardness as parameters of pharmaceutical properties. To predict the pharmaceutical properties, NIR spectra of the granules were measured and analyzed by principal component regression, (PCR) analysis. The mean particle size of the granules increased from 81 μm to 650 μm with an increase in the amount of water, and it was possible to make larger spherical granules with narrow particle size distribution using a high-speed mixer. Angle of repose, compressibility, and porosity of the tablets decreased with an increase of added water, but tablet hardness increased. The independent calibration models to evaluate particle size, angle of repose, and tablet porosity and hardness were established by using PCR based on NIR spectra of granules, respectively. The correlation coefficient constants of calibration curves for prediction of mean particle size, angle of repose, tablet porosity, and tablet hardness were 0.9109, 0.8912, 0.7437, and 0.8064, respectively. It is possible that the pharmaceutical properties of the granule, such as mean particle size, angle of repose, tablet porosity, and tablet hardness, could be predicted by an NIR-chemometric method.
